Well this is a pleasant surprise. I received an e-mail yesterday notifying me that Film Junk is a nominee for the 2013 Canadian Weblog Awards in not one, not two, but three different categories! We are nominated under Arts & Culture, Media & Journalism and Podcast & Vlog. The winners are set to be announced on Dec. 1st.

While I’m not sure that we actually have a shot at winning, the good news is there are no Firefly or Harry Potter podcasts in the running as far as I can tell. It’s also completely based on a jury of volunteers as opposed to public voting, which probably works in our favour. Either way, thanks to the jury for selecting us and also to whoever originally nominated us. Head over to the Canadian Weblog Awards to check out all of the other worthy nominees.

First, congratulations. You guys deserve this. Second, did you check to make sure this isn’t a prank by the illuminati? Third, love that you cemented your Canadian cred with the spelling of “favour”.

Anthony Hebert

It’s a shame you guys aren’t nominated for the Feminist category, as you have nothing but positive things to say about women as a whole.

Awesome! One of the best podcasts out there, regardless of the country!

Jr

Noice! I hopes you wins!

Sam

Congrats guys!

I listen to like 20+ different podcasts of varying frequency, mostly all film, video game or comedy related and I got to say in all honesty, Film Junk is my favorite. Get a lot more laughs from you guys than I do from even strictly comedic podcasts. Keep it up guys and good luck!
